10.8 NON-COMPLIANT ABAWD

1240-1-3-.44(8)

When a mandatory ABAWD does not follow through with an appointment or component, check to see if he/she is also a mandatory E&T participant.

(a) When a mandatory ABAWD is also a mandatory E&T participant:

If the person is a mandatory ABAWD and E&T participant, follow the E&T procedures for non-compliance with a work requirement.

· Good cause will be determined.

· If good cause does not exist, the appropriate penalty will be applied.

(b) When a mandatory ABAWD is not a mandatory E&T participant:

· If the ABAWD misses an appointment with Labor, reschedule with Labor if possible and document the information and outcome.

· If the individual is not cooperating, the month will be considered countable unless otherwise exempt.

· If the individual has no countable months left, he/she is ineligible and must be removed.

· If an individual is ABAWD only, there is no penalty for failing to follow through with an appointment or component.
